This study presents genome-wide data from ancient individuals to trace the genetic legacy of the Balkan refugium during the Last Glacial Maximum and its impact on later European hunter-gatherer populations.

The paper analyzes genetic data from Maya tombs and caves to show that elite lineages extended their ancestral connections across distant locations.

The paper reports whole-genome sequencing of a mid-20th-century femur from Israel, revealing Arab ancestry instead of the proposed Ashkenazi Jewish origin.

This paper uses ancient DNA data to trace the genetic origins of the Yamnaya culture and links their expansion to the spread of Indo-European languages.

This study analyzes ancient DNA from the Swahili coast to trace genetic admixture between African and Asian populations over time.

The paper identifies a de novo STXBP1 mutation in a child with developmental delay and spasticity, showing how it disrupts the STXBP1-syntaxin 1A interaction through structural analysis.

The paper uses molecular dynamics simulations to compare SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses' interactions with the human ACE2 receptor, revealing distinct binding interfaces and dynamics.

The paper identifies a redox-sensitive site in Cdc48 that regulates its localization and activity during oxidative stress and aging in yeast.
